As Far As You Know

After a Hamlet-like period of indecision about where to go for my annual post-Christmas travel adventure, I decided to stay a bit closer to home--I've spent the past three New Years in Puerto Rico, Rio de Janiero, and Sydney, Australia--in the Southwestern U.S. Specifically, I am going to Las Vegas for a few days on December 26, and then will drive over to check out the Grand Canyon (which I've not yet seen, believe it or not) and then to Santa Fe and Albuquerque through January 2. No exchange rate worries this winter!
